TOUCH THE MYSTERY

More often than not end of a year brings a lot of precious gifts, prog rock is luckily not an exception in this respect. A number of very beautiful albums have been released recently, with Touch the Mystery being one of the most outstanding ones. Unlike many of the modern music this album has nothing to do with the wider young audience and commercial success is hardly achievable for them. But i hope this was not their goal. They play old good art rock, and nostalgia was the first impression i had after listening to the album. Nostalgia for those years when I was young and composers and musicians were sincere in their music. Now it is another world, and while amount of different groups and projects is enormous and one can hardly hope to grab it over its life span, only rare birds of new projects apply to what we loved about Genesis, Pink Floyd, PFM, ELO... If you are in your 40th and older ? this album is for you.
